- Properly secure all cargo. Mopar® accessories shown.
- LOUVERED HOOD
- The aggressively detailed steel hood with louvers on each side is tall for a reason. Its height accommodates the large Cummins Turbo Diesel and 5.7L HEMI® engines, giving them room to breathe. With the help of a cowl screen, airflow transitions smoothly from hood to windshield, making it more aerodynamic and improving efficiency.

- Bold crosshair grille
- The signature Ram grille, available in chrome billet or body color, offers more than big-rig looks. Its tall, leaning design allows for greater airflow, keeping your engine cool and improving performance.

- Integrated rear fender flares
- 3500 dually rear-wheel flares are now part of the cargo box sheet metal. This sturdy design accentuates the bodylines and wheel openings of the redesigned truck. The fender flares also feature integrated side marker lamps for greater visibility and safety.

- Crew Cab
- Crew Cab is the first ever available for Ram Heavy Duty. Its long list of benefits includes seating for six, four full-size doors, under-seat and in-floor storage plus six more inches of legroom than the previous Quad Cab®. Better still, it's available with either the 6'4" or 8' box, making it easy to maneuver while towing.

- Tailgate lift assist
- Tailgate lift assist makes it easier to load and unload cargo. It lowers the effort required to both lower and raise the tailgate, thanks to a tension-releasing torsion bar inside. It's another way Ram Heavy Duty helps you carry the load.

- Box rail caps
- When you're on the job, you don't have time to gently load up your cargo box so you don't scratch the paint. That's where the standard box rail caps come in. They cover the top of the rails to reduce blemishing and scratching and have openings for cargo tie-down hooks. Ram Heavy Duty has you covered.

- PARKVIEW REAR BACK UP CAMERA
- The available ParkView rear backup camera shows you what's behind your truck on the available full-color multimedia touch screen when you're in reverse. It eases parking and takes the guesswork out of backing up to a trailer

- Exterior styling

Ram Heavy Duty trucks are designed with big-rig styling. These trucks impress with more than just towing and payload, thanks to features like available chrome mirrors and door handles, available chrome-clad wheels, a tall, aerodynamic louvered hood to accommodate the available legendary 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel engine and a signature Ram crosshair grille with black or chrome billet.
- Aluminum accent color running boards

The available, unique Mopar® aluminum accent color running boards are custom-designed to match your truck's contours and provide easier entry and exit from the cab.
